Six Month Check-up

Claire had her 6 Month Well Baby visit with the pediatrician on Monday. Her latest stats were:

Weight - 14 lbs., 1 oz.

Length - 25 3/8 inches

She's in the 5th percentile for both height and weight. This office uses a different chart than the one in Dallas which put her in the 25th percentile. She was in the same percentile at her visit with the new pedi a month ago, so the doctor was okay with her growth. She's just little!

As part of the visit she got four shots, two in each leg. One was a flu shot, and she'll have to go back in a month for a booster. She had a rough day, but I was able to be with her most of the day. She was pretty tired, and when she wasn't sleeping she wanted to be held. I tried to put her in her Exersaucer for a few minutes so I could get a couple of things done, but that didn't last long.

Her butterfly rattle seemed to help for a little while, though.

We've been keeping up with her chair pictures - here is her 27 Week picture from last Tuesday.

And her 28 Week picture from this week.

I was having a hard time getting her to stay still long enough to get a picture. She's just so curious about everything now - it's so fun watching her examine things, although I'm having to be more watchful of little hand grabbing things they're not supposed to. She grabbed an onion ring off of Robert's plate a few days ago and almost got it to her mouth before we caught her - too early for fried foods!
